In Kansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin, where we read the published scope rules for these practitioners, autism is not among the permitted categories of practice as we read them. 5 practitioners we analyzed advertise it anyway. Autism spectrum disorder is diagnosed and managed by developmental-behavioral pediatricians, child neurologists, child psychiatrists and licensed psychologists. A chiropractic license covers the spine and musculoskeletal system, not developmental diagnosis. Classifications reflect our review, not an adjudicated finding.
